Traction: Health 2.0’s Leading Startup Competition in Health Tech

As the middle of the year approaches, the startup funding in digital health amounts to a total of 2.2 billion. It is definitely slower progress compared to last year’s blowup of 4.6 billion, but this is simply a sign of the space maturing. There remains a massive amount of activity in the number of deals, but the lower amount of funding in 2015 suggests that investors are becoming more careful with their spending. Traction is the perfect opportunity to hone your skills and impress these venture capitalists to invest in your startup!

Traction will be launching the Health 2.0 Annual Fall Conference on Monday, October 5, 2015 at 8 AM. This competition specifically recruits companies ready for Series A in the $2-12M range.

Enter your company today and pitch your startup to venture capitalists, angel investors, government officials, and even healthcare industry experts. Increase media exposure while forming connections with leading investors, while gaining the opportunity to gain advice from over 30 mentors and experts to further refine your business model.

In early September, 10 teams will be selected as finalists for two different tracks: professional facing and consumer facing tools. Emerging live at the conference, the competition will grant these lucky finalists access to exceptional mentors and fight for the title of “Startup Champion.”

The application deadline is Friday, August 14th at 11:59 ET.

Apply today to be selected as one of the 10 finalists to pitch live at Health 2.0’s Annual Fall Conference!
